I have remained relatively quiet on this blog, partly because I have been extremely upset and partly because I cannot understand the extreme and utter stupidity and ignorance of the members of the Tea Party. As I am writing this in Malaysia, there are only a few hours left to raise the debt ceiling, preventing default. As my fellow expats from Australia and Europe laugh at our so called democratic system being held hostage by a small bunch or morons, I shake my head in disbelief. I sit here watching the Tea Party destroy the USA's reputation and credibility, as well as endangering the world economy, solely because they hate the color of the Presidents skin! They hate Obama so much they will destroy the only healthcare millions of people will ever have, including themselves, while at the same time destroying the country.

What is interesting is that these Teabaggers come from the very Red states which receive the highest amount of government benefits or entitlements, which they hate so much. It is also interesting to note that in those states headed by Republican governors, the people are the least educated, the poorest and the economy is deplorable. Sort of tells you something! Yet Teabaggers from these states do not have the intelligence to see they are being taken advantage of.

In the past couple of weeks many of these right wing terrorists have been calling for the impeachment of Obama. For what reason, you morons? This just goes to show that they have no knowledge of how a democracy works, how our government works or what the constitution says. Paying for government is constitutionally the responsibility of the House of Representatives. Not the Senate, nor the White House. If anyone should be impeached it is the members of the House.

In my complete disgust with the Teabaggers, I have come up with a solution. The majority of Tea Party members come from a few Southern states or rural western states. Since they do not like our government in its present form and since they do not like minorities of any kind, they would feel much more comfortable with people who share their own medieval views. I would suggest that all of these people be allowed to move to a state such as Alabama or Mississippi where they would be allowed to govern themselves as a separate entity, after being allowed to leave the Union. (Of course we would allow the more sane and tolerant citizens of the state to settle elsewhere in the US.) They would not receive any kind of benefits from the Federal government. No Social Security, no Medicare or Medicaid, certainly no Obamacare, no veterans benefits, no food stamps, no unemployment benefits. Nothing! Think of the money the rest of us would save in not having to support these uneducated, ignorant, racist, bigoted morons.

To me this makes a great deal of sense. It sort of reminds me of Islamists who want to separate from countries such as Thailand, The Philippines and other regions of China and the former Soviet Union. Let them live by themselves in a way they choose and in a century they choose.

As the government has been shut down for a little over 24 hours, the blame game has started. I don't see why though, because the blame falls entirely upon the Tea Party wing of the GOP. Millions of Americans, especially veterans who cannot access the national war memorials to their service and medical and other necessary services which they need, are feeling the impact. Angry war veteran have been met by members of Congress, who have told them it is Obama's fault.

May I remind you stupid, ignorant moronic Teabaggers that the US Supreme Court has declared the Affordable Health Care Act (or as you idiots may or may not know is also called Obamacare) constitutional. It's a LAW and you have tried over 40 times to repeal it and failed each and every time! And may I also remind you morons that there was a presidential election in 2012 where the ACA or Obamacare was a major issue. This was the chance for Americans to voice their opinion on the issue and either vote Obama back in or out. Guess what? They voted him back in. You lost. Get over it and let us get on with our lives. We had to live with 2 Bush terms, even though he actually lost the first one, and we didn't shut down the government.

Thanks to the GOP Tea Party morons the Federal government officially shut down at midnight last night. A small number of crazed millionaire, racist and bigots managed to hijack the House of Representatives and shut down the government in an effort to destroy Obamacare and Obama. What these selfish idiots didn't realize is that Obamacare was upheld as Constitutional by the Supreme Court and that if the American people really did not want Obamacare they would not have re-elected him, overwhelmingly , to a second term. The Tea Party evidently doesn't understand the meaning of democracy.

The irony of this situation is that the Tea Party supporters want to help the little guy and the middle class, but the people they elected have done nothing to help the average American, but instead have helped the filthy rich. The original Tea Party may have wanted small government and an taxation equality, but they have morphed into a bunch of racist, bigoted and hate filled tyrants.

A friend of mine posted this on Facebook and it shows just how screwed up and how stupid some Americans can be.

"Jimmy Kimmel just had several people asked about whether they preferred
Obamacare or Affordable Care Act. Everyone said they supported the ACA
but were against Obamacare. Reasons for supporting ACA was because they
felt the plans were going to help them get insurance that couldn't get
before. Reasons for hating Obamacare was because there were so many
things wrong with it. lol
Really America!"

The Republicans have voted over 40 times to repeal Obamacare, but have never offered a single idea to give Americans affordable healthcare. The basic reason they want it repealed is that if the American people get the chance to see that they will benefit from Obamacare, they will never vote Republican again,
